Default Hang in there!

As Kathy said, we all have different symptoms/problems due to MG - some people have vision problems, others (myself included) have ALL the symptoms of MG....not fun! Please be careful and do not wear yourself out. Wokring out is good to a certain degree, but DO NOT push it! Also, be vigilant about washing your hands and stay away from sick people (as much as possible) b/c that can make you very sick, very quickly.

Steroids are a necessary evil - granted, you MAY gain weight and have the other few side effects, but they are WELL worth it. I know in my case, they truly saved my life - no joke. I was in a a crisis, though, something that not all people with MG have.

It sounds like you take really good care of yourself - keep it up and good luck!

Take care!
Erin
